WHY CONNECTION MATTERS
Loneliness is a public health crisis that we can't self-care our way out of,
We can't self-care our way out of isolation because humans are wired for connection.
The U.S. Surgeon General has identified social connection as a critical pillar of health alongside nutrition, physical activity, and sleep. Treat loneliness with the same urgency as physical illness.
Healthy social connections are linked to:
Longer, healthier lives
Better mental well-being
Lower stress
Improved physical health
Greater resilience during difficult times
Stronger, safer, and healthier communities
